机会 vs 机遇
机会 is either positive or neutral opportunity, while 机遇 is always something positive.
For example, we can only use 机会 in these two sentences below, because it's more about neutral chances:
我们忙得都没有喘息的机会。 [phr] We are too busy to have time to breathe.
别担心，每个人都有机会发言。 [phr] Do not worry. Everybody will have a chance to speak up.

The word "机遇" (jīyù) is not used very often in everyday conversation. It is more likely to be used in formal contexts, such as in business meetings or in speeches. It is also used in written Chinese, such as in newspapers or magazines. It is sometimes used in contrast with the word "挑战" (tiǎozhàn), which means "challenge". For example, someone might say, "我们应该把这个挑战当作一个机遇，而不是一个威胁" (Wǒmen yīnggāi bǎ zhège tiǎozhàn dāngzuò yīgè jīyù, ér bùshì yīgè wēixié), which translates to "We should see this challenge as an opportunity, not a threat".
